FAQs
What is included in the Apico Clutch Kit?
The kit typically includes friction plates, steel plates, and replacement springs. Please check the product details for the exact contents for your specific model.
Is this clutch kit suitable for my 1990 Kawasaki KX125?
No, this specific kit (CK KX125 88) is designed for Kawasaki KX125 models from 1988-1989 only. Please verify compatibility for other model years.
Can I use a different type of oil with this clutch kit?
It is highly recommended to use the specific type and grade of oil recommended in your Kawasaki KX125's owner's or service manual. Using incorrect oil can lead to poor performance and premature wear.
How often should I replace my clutch plates?
The frequency of clutch replacement depends heavily on riding conditions and style. Regular inspection is key. Signs of wear include slipping, difficulty shifting, or a grabby engagement.
Does this kit offer improved performance over the stock clutch?
The Apico kit aims to provide OEM quality performance and durability. It restores the clutch to its intended function and feel, rather than necessarily offering performance upgrades beyond the original specification.
What does 'OEM quality' mean in this context?
OEM quality means the product is manufactured to meet or exceed the standards set by the original equipment manufacturer (in this case, Kawasaki) in terms of materials, fit, and performance.
Troubleshooting
Clutch slipping
Verify that the correct oil level and type are used. Check for worn friction plates or incorrect spring tension. Ensure clutch lever free play is properly adjusted.
Clutch not engaging fully
Confirm all plates (friction and steel) are installed in the correct order and orientation. Check for any damage or warping on the plates or basket.
Hard clutch lever pull
Ensure cables are properly lubricated and routed without kinks. Verify that all clutch components are installed correctly and not binding.
Chattering or juddering when engaging
Inspect friction plates for contamination (oil or debris) or glazing. Ensure steel plates are not warped and that all components are clean.
